Terdapatnya meriam ini merupakan salah satu bukti wujudnya Kerajaan Kesultanan Selangor dan unsur penjajahan Belanda dan Inggeris di negeri Selangor. Kepentingan meriam ini menunjukkan bahawa kewujudan persenjataan demi mempertahankan kedaulatan raja dan negeri daripada ancaman musuh telah lama wujud. Dokumentasi ini membuktikan bahawa orang Melayu bukanlah bangsa yang lemah dan hanya mengenal keris dan tombak, malahan telah pandai membina dan menggunakan meriam sebagai salah satu senjata hebat yang digunakan sebagai senjata pertahanan. Berdasarkan kepada artifak meriam ini juga telah banyak membantu menyelongkar sejarah peradaban kesultanan Melayu dan rakyat Selangor. Kata kunci: Meriam; kepentingan; kesultanan; Selangor; pertahanan ABSTRACT This paper is written with the purpose of re-documenting the existence of a barrel of iron cannon at Melawati Fort, Kuala Selangor, Selangor. The discovery of the cannons are the manifestations of the Selangor Sultanate and the colonization of the Anglo-Dutch in Selangor. The existence of these cannons also show the armaments and defenses for the sovereignty of the king and state against the threats among enemies. Such discoveries imply that the Malays were not weak for not only have the dagger and the spear, they had even formulated security defense with the cannon as one of the most powerful weapons used to defeat the enemies.

  • EAST INDIA COMPANY Straits Settlements Factory Records, 1769-1830 Reels M470-535
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT EAST INDIA COMPANY Straits Settlements factory records, 1769-1830 Reels M470-535 India Office Library 197 Blackfriars Road London SE1 8NG National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1960 HISTORICAL NOTE Under its charter, granted by Queen Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600, the East India Company had a monopoly of all English trade in Asia and the Pacific. Its trading activities were initially focussed on the port and sultanate of Bantam on the western end of Java, where the Company established a ‘factory’ in 1603. Bantam was a major trading centre, particularly for pepper, and also for exotic spices from Ambon and other eastern islands, silks and porcelain from China, scented woods and Indian textiles. The Dutch East India Company also founded a trading factory at Bantam in 1603 and, after years of conflict and competition, it forced the English company out of Java in 1682. In 1685, however, the East India Company succeeded in setting up a factory at Bencoolen on the south-west coast of Sumatra and it was to be a major source of pepper for the next century. It was transferred to Dutch rule in 1825. In the late seventeenth century the interest of the Company shifted to India. Trading posts were established at Surat (1619), Madras (1639), Bombay (1668), and Calcutta (1690). The factories developed into forts: Fort William (Calcutta), Fort St George (Madras) and Bombay Castle. Surat was the Company’s first presidency in India, but by the early eighteenth century the presidencies, each with their own army, were Bombay, Madras and Calcutta.

  • PENANG MUSEUMS, CULTURE and HISTORY Abu Talib Ahmad
    Kajian Malaysia, Vol. 33, Supp. 2, 2015, 153–174 PENANG MUSEUMS, CULTURE AND HISTORY Abu Talib Ahmad School of Humanities, Universiti Sains Malaysia, MALAYSIA Email: [email protected] The essay studies museums in Penang, their culture displays and cultural contestation in a variety of museums. Penang is selected as case study due to the fine balance in population numbers between the Malays and the Chinese which is reflected in their cultural foregrounding in the Penang State Museum. This ethnic balance is also reflected by the multiethnic composition of the state museum board. Yet behind this façade one could detect the existence of culture contests. Such contests are also found within the different ethnic groups like the Peranakan and non-Peranakan Chinese or the Malays and the Indian-Muslims. This essay also examines visitor numbers and the attractiveness of the Penang Story. The essay is based on the scrutiny of museum exhibits, museum annual reports and conversations with former and present members of the State Museum Board. Keywords: Penang museums, State Museum Board, Penang Story, museum visitors, culture and history competition INTRODUCTION The phrase culture wars might have started in mid-19th century Germany but it came into wider usage since the 1960s in reference to the ideological polarisations among Americans into the liberal and conservative camps (Hunter, 1991; Luke, 2002). Although not as severe, such wars in Malaysia are manifested by the intense culture competition within and among museums due to the pervasive influence of ethnicity in various facets of the national life. As a result, museum foregrounding of culture and history have become contested (Matheson- Hooker, 2003: 1–11; Teo, 2010: 73–113; Abu Talib, 2008: 45–70; 2012; 2015).

  • The Contribution of Historic Urban Spaces in Influencing the Character of George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, Malaysia
    The Sustainable City VIII, Vol. 2 1191 The contribution of historic urban spaces in influencing the character of George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, Malaysia C. A. Rohayah, S. Shuhana & B. S. Ahmad Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia Abstract This paper examines the significance of the historic urban spaces in influencing the character of George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) by analyzing the perception of the residents towards the character of the heritage sites. George Town was the first British port city recognized as having a unique architectural and cultural townscape that was inscribed together with Malacca as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. The multi-cultural character influences of Asia and Europe have created tangible and intangible elements that contribute to the character of the historic urban spaces. The significance of the historic buildings with unique its architecture and the urban pattern derived through their juxtaposition on the site has created unique spaces that characterized the George Town WHS. These rows of pre-war historic buildings enclosed the areas and create the planned or incidental urban spaces, which divided the area into several significant streets or spaces. The names of the street depict the historical significance of the area having a close association with the existence of different groups of the community. The findings suggest that the historic urban spaces play an important role in influencing the character of the WHS sites. Keywords: historic urban space, world heritage site, character, townscape. 1 Introduction George Town was the oldest British colonial town in South East Asia which represents the early development of British period at the end of the 18th C.

  • II History of the Dutch in South-Asia
    Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction As part of this study it is important to understand the development of the Southeast Asia region in a historical context. This development is highly influenced by trade. Many foreign powers are attracted to the region because of the economic welfare. They take cities and trade posts like Jayakarta (renamed Batavia) (East Indies), Galle (Sri Lanka), Cochin (India) and Melaka (Malaya). The implementation of some settlements in Asia is highly influenced by these European countries. Foreign powers that conquer parts of Asia include the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and British. The Dutch leave their mark on settlements in Asia through lay-out and architecture in a very recognizable, entirely different way from the Portuguese or Spanish. Therefore it is necessary to have an understanding of the development of Dutch settlements in Asia and the influence that Dutch architecture has on the buildings in Asia, especially, on shop houses in Asia. Figure 1.1: Map of the town and fort of Melaka. (ca. 1753). Source: Atlas of Mutual Heritage, the Netherlands. This study eventually leads to a better understanding of Dutch architecture in Melaka. 37 shop houses, 9 public buildings and the fort have been selected to give a more in depth study of their facade analysis. In this study a comparison is made with other, pre- 1 vious, studies about the analysis of shop houses. 1.2 Literature used for this Research The research questions form the base of the study. To be able to answer these questions literature had to be studied related to the research questions.
